Sistagraphy, Atlanta’s collective of African American women photographers, are having two shows this fall. There’s an online exhibition, called “New Works by Sistagraphy”, which will be unveiled on October 1st. A second exhibition, at the Auburn Ave. Research Library on African American Culture and History will open on October 2nd, with a reception at 6:30. The exhibition is called “Changing Faces, Moving Dreams”, and includes work from Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier and Members of Sistagraphy. Here’s a description:
“Members of Sistagraphy, the collective of African American women photographers, collaborate with the Center for Working Families, Inc., and neighborhood residents, to present Changing Faces, Moving Dreams, an interdisciplinary project that uses oral history, drawings, photography, and quilt arts to create a portrait of six communities from NPU-V. Artist and Sistagraphy member, Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier, directs the program, which includes members: Catherine J. Alston, Rita Nicholas King, Malikah Bakir, and Sauda Jackson. An artist talk will be held on October 18, 3-5 p.m. at Auburn Avenue Library. This program is supported in part by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs.
Please be sure to put both of these exhibitions on your calendar, and we’ll remind you here on ACP Now!, as well.
